Why do some of us leave the windshield in? I can't understand not removing the windshield while painting. How do you assure yourself that no problems await without taking the windshield out?

Is there windshield rubber available. I want to show the car.

Thanks

I think it comes down to "how far" you are going with the resto...

You say you want to show it, so yes, take it out... Keep these things in mind.

1. If you have a original sigla windshield, find a expert, it's not easy to remove the glass without damaging or breaking it.

2. Same goes for the metal trim, find someone "old school" that has experience with metal trim work. Not some mobile glass place 20 year old.

3. Be prepared for a surprise (rust) in the lower corners.


I think many leave it in for those reasons as well, as it's easy to just remove the trim targa seal ect and paint. Once the metal trim is reinstalled you would not be able to tell...
